Rover's thread got me thinking about what cameras i have loaded at the moment and i thought it might be interesting to list them and see what others are using.

So here goes:

Rollie 35T - XP2
Bessa R/Jupiter 8 - Fuji 800
Canon P/Serrenar 50/1.8 - XP2
Olympus PenD - XP2
Pentax MZ50 - Fuji 400

Waiting to be loaded:

Ensign Comando - T Max (2002!!!)
Yashica Lynx - fuji 800

And when that canges I will update.

My most useful/versatile film is HP5+, so I'll put that in the camera I most want to use. Recently it's been the M6, but lately it's the new to me Hexar RF. I've also got also HP5+ in John Neal's old Rollei 35S to carry around when I'm not necessarily thinking photography, but still need to have a camera with me.
 
Not loaded yet. :)

The Canon L1 is in the bag though with my last roll of APX 400 and a dated roll of Neopan 1600 (which I may pull out because I don't like that stuff too much). If I get out to shoot as I am hoping to tomorrow I may just delay the use of the APX too and just go with a few rolls of PlusX or TriX so that I will only have one speed rating to worry about.
 
both cameras have fp4 in them.
i'm just trying to use up the bits and peices i have left.

i have quite a few rolls of that 100 maco/mitsubishi that i'll used if forced to. it's not a bad film but it curls waaay too much for my liking.

i will be using delta 100 and 400 exclusively from here on in.
maybe the odd roll of delta 3200 (at 1000)

FED 5, CV 21, Kodak BW400CN
FED 3, I-26, Kodak BW400CN
Canon P, Jupiter-8(currently my best 50), some generic drug store 400 speed color to function test. Will end up with the above BW or UC400 for color once I confirm the fitness of the P.
I am a little embarrassed to note that I have three other cameras loaded and am not quite sure just what's in them:rolleyes:. I do know that it is 400 speed.The tiny Agat 18 will likely be the last one I find out about--I'm 4 shots into the roll that's in it so only 46 or 68 shots to go:D.
The other two are my two Zorki 3m cameras. I had been putting color film into the Z3m with the red #s on the speed dial and BW into the one with out...but it's been a while since I used 'em and with all the other crap going on around me lately, I wouldn't swear to having kept to that plan. :bang:
I am going to put a small piece of self-stick vinyl on the bottom of those two so I can write the film on it with a china marker.
I'm not ordinarily so scatter brained. Nuts.

Joe:

I use the delta 100 and 400 about 70% of the time and Adox 25 the other 25% and throw in a few other types for fun. I like HP5 for pushing in Acufine but delta 400 works great in Ilford HC 1:31.
 
F4s Velvia 100
F6 Kodakchrome 64
Bessa R2M Kodak BW400CN
F-36 (Nikon F w/MD) Kodak Gold 400
Remainder: empty.

Also shot 3 rolls of Kodak 800 print film, 2 with the F6, and one with the Bessa R2M. Lots of film on this weekend's vacation. Felt good after 5 solid months of Digital shooting at sea.

M3/50 summicron - APX100 (1/3 left of the 36 shots)
Ricoh GR1 - XP2

i may dabble on occasion with others but it's delta for me.

i keep wanting other film to work for me because i see other shots that look great on different films. but for me the delta films work so i might as well just go with the flow.

Rollei 35t with Fuji Superia 400

Ummm .... that's it. Just took a roll of kodak bw400cn out of my Kneb ... the whole roll was used shooting a friend at her place late yesterday. :)
 
Just finished a test roll of Fuji 800Z in the "new" Fuji GW670III.
Have Kodak BW400CN in the Canon ELPH Jr, as a "grab 'n run" camera.
More Fuji 800Z in a Zeiss Ikon with 35 Summicron, at this time the main "walkabout" rig.
And expired Vericolor III Professional Type S in a Pentax 67II with 120mm Pentax Soft lens, awaiting an appropriate subject.
 
My three analog cameras are loaded as follows..

Bessa-T, Agfa Vista-200, two exposures.
Nikon F75, Fuji Neopan 1600, no exposures yet.
Leica M4, empty, tossed in a drawer.
 
Konica Hexar AF : Fuji Superia 400
Olympus mju:II : Fuji Superia 400
Nikon F: Fuji Superia 400
Yashicamat 124G : Kodak 400VC
Lomo LC-A : Agfa Ultra 100

I'm going to buy some FP4/HP5 later on this week. I'm in a B&W kinda mood and that Hexar is hungry.

Canon P with Kodak Gold 200
M4 with Kodak Gold 100
M5 (just back from CLA) with HP5+
Pentax MX with HP5+

All I need now is some free time. I feel guilty about not using a camera, so I'll load it up and carry it with me for a day or two. But I keep coming back to my favourite, the M4. Now the M5 is back from CLA, maybe that will get a good run. I should think about finding a good home for the P.
